"I do not envy those who have to fight the battle of Christianity in the twentieth century," wrote Marcus Dods. "Yes, perhaps I do; but it will be a stiff fight." Of course, he did, and anybody with his valiant spirit would. There was a day when our Lord passed through cheering streets wildly enthusiastic; and another day when He watched the crowds deserting Him, till even the disciples themselves seemed to be withering, and He looked at them sadly. "Will you also go away?" He said. And Peter strode across the sudden empty spaces widening around Him, and put his back to Christ's. "No", he cried; "there are two of us, at least", and faced the world, Christ's poor minority of one. I would rather have been Peter than one of the shouting mob. And today, perhaps, we may get our chance of that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the meantime, hopefully we can have a fruitful conversation with the government to get his release, perhaps under conditions ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42211]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the meantime, hopefully we can have a fruitful conversation with the government to get his release, perhaps under conditions they can impose.

No, what's important is the way we say it. Art is all about craftsmanship. Others can interpret craftsmanship as style if they wish. Style is what unites memory or recollection, ideology, sentiment, nostalgia, presentiment, to the way we express all that. It's not what we say but how we say it that matters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not only was I the artist, publisher, songwriter and producer, I was also the singer, ...

Its glorification of mere chance is a denial of the Divine order of nature. To risk money haphazard is to disregard the insistence of the Church in every age of living faith that possessions are a trust, and that men must account to God for their use. The persistent appeal to covetousness is fundamentally opposed to the unselfishness which was taught by Jesus Christ and by the New Testament as a whole. The attempt (which is inseparable from gambling) to make a profit out of the inevitable loss and possible suffering of others is the antithesis of that love of one's neighbour on which our Lord insisted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When daisies pied and violets blue And lady-smocks all silver-white  And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue   Do paint ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10814]]></link><description><![CDATA[When daisies pied and violets blue And lady-smocks all silver-white  And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue   Do paint the meadows with delight,    The cuckoo then, on every tree,     Mocks married men: for thus sings he, Cuckoo;      Cuckoo, cuckoo: O, word of fear,       Unpleasing to a married ear!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a besetting vice of democracies to substitute public opinion for law.
